3 1. General Safety Advice Please ensure all necessary measures are taken to prevent accidents. The use of PowerSets in applications that may endanger human lives is prohibited, including in air and road transport systems. PowerSets must not be used for anything other than their expressed purpose. Solar Frontier strongly advises you to follow the instructions below in order to avoid bodily injury, damage to property and/or death. PowerSets sold by Solar Frontier GmbH may only be installed by authorized professionals (see 4.2). As soon as it becomes evident that safe operation is no longer possible (e.g., visible damage), remove the PowerSet immediately from the grid. 1.1 Safety advice for Solar Frontier SF165-S/SF170-S photovoltaic modules Installation, wiring and maintenance of SF modules must only be carried out by licensed and trained persons. Ensure that all instructions and warnings related to SF modules and all instructions from the manufacturer of the system components are fully understood prior to installing and operating a PV solar system. The front surface of SF modules should be covered with an opaque material during installation to decrease the potential of electrical shock. SF modules only generate direct current (DC) electricity. SF modules do not have the ability to store electricity. SF modules will experience higher voltage when connected in series and higher electrical current when connected in parallel. Only interconnect SF modules with similar electrical characteristics in series or in parallel to prevent system imbalance conditions and module damage. The PV array open circuit voltage must never exceed the maximum system voltage (including in low temperature conditions). Excessive leakage currents are a shock and fire hazard. Under no circumstances disconnect the cable from operational modules or electrical arcing may occur. This may result in serious bodily harm or death. Do not use SF modules for purposes other than terrestrial power generation to prevent electrical shock, fire and other accidents. Do not artificially concentrate sunlight on modules using lenses or mirrors. Do not use light sources other than natural sunlight and general illumination for power generation. Do not use SF modules in water or liquid. Contact with water or other liquid significantly increases the risk of electric shock. The level of leakage current must be limited in accordance with local regulations for safety reasons. Carefully check the polarity of the connections before installing. Incorrect wiring may damage SF modules or appliances. Only use tools, plugs, cables and support structures suitable for solar electric systems. Wear appropriate protective clothing when working on SF modules and take all necessary precautions to prevent electric shock, especially when DC voltage exceeds 30 V. 1.2 Safety advice for Turbo inverters Install and use the device only after reading and understanding this document. Always perform the measures described in this document in the sequence specified. Keep this document in a safe place for the entire service life of the device. Pass the document on to subsequent owners and operators of the device. Improper operation can reduce the yields of the photovoltaic system. The device must not be connected to the DC or AC cables if it has a damaged casing. Switch the device off immediately and disconnect it from the grid and the solar modules if any of the following components is damaged: - Device (not functioning, visible damage, smoke emission, penetration by liquid, etc.) - Cables - Solar modules The system must not be switched back on until - the device has been repaired by the dealer or manufacturer. - damaged cables or solar modules have been repaired by a technical professional. Never cover the Device. Do not open the casing. Danger! This will void the warranty! Factory labels and markings must never be altered, removed or rendered unreadable. Observe the respective manufacturer s manual when connecting an external device that is not described in this document (e.g., external data logger).

Installation Compliance with all relevant national and local laws, regulations and directives, especially for accident avoidance, as well as all relevant technical standards is mandatory for a safe installation. 5.1 Mounting system / substructure The PowerSets are delivered in standard form without an assembly system. Solar Frontier offers a suitable assembly system as a separate accessory. For more information, see: In general, all commonly available mounting systems which ensure proper mounting following the guidelines in point are suitable. Your installer will be able to suggest an appropriate solution. 5.2 Mechanical installation of Solar Frontier SF165-S/ SF170-S photovoltaic modules Handling instructions Do not disassemble or modify SF modules. This may result in an electric shock, fire or other accidents. Solar Frontier cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage caused by unauthorized disassembling, modification or misuse of SF modules. Do not drill additional mounting holes into the aluminium frame. Only predrilled holes should be used. Avoid placing any stress onto the SF modules, cables or connectors. (Minimum bending radius of 39 mm (1.54 in) for module cables is recommended) Do not stand or step on SF modules. This may result in damage to the module and/or bodily harm by falling. Do not drop SF modules or drop objects onto them. Both sides of the module (the glass surface and the back sheet) are fragile. Do not strike the terminal box or pull the cables. The terminal box can crack and break, while the output cable may unplug and cause electricity leakage or an electric shock. Do not scratch the back sheet or cables of the SF modules. Rubbing or scratching may result in an electric shock, electric leakage or an accident. Do not scratch the insulation coating of the frame (except for the grounding connection). This may weaken the strength of the frame or cause corrosion. Do not cover the water drain holes of the frame. Doing so may cause frost damage. Do not use glue when closing the cover of the junction box. Similarly, do not use a sealant to bond the junction box lid to its base Mounting instructions Mounting structures cautions Pay attention to the electrochemical series when selecting support structure material to avoid galvanic corrosion. Fasten and lock bolts completely. Inadequate mounting may result in SF modules falling or other accidents. Make sure that SF modules have been connected securely to the substructure. The substructure should consist of durable, rustproof. UV resistant material. Please adhere to national regulations. Ensure that your mounting support structure is designed to withstand the SF module design snow and wind loads applicable for the chosen site. Solar Frontier will not be responsible if the SF modules are damaged due to the durability of the mounting support structure. Please consult your mounting structure manufacturer. Mounting the solar modules PV modules should typically face south in the Northern Hemisphere and north in the Southern Hemisphere for optimum power production. Modules can be installed horizontally (landscape) or vertically (portrait). Maintain a space between SF modules and the roof. This will allow air to circulate, cooling the module, and allow condensation to dissipate. Solar Frontier recommends a distance of at least 100 mm (3.94 in). Mounting with clamps Four or more corrosion-proof clamps should be used to fasten the SF modules to the support structure securely. The clamps should be secured within the indicated clamping zones (256 mm +/- 75 mm (10.08 in +/ in) from the corners of the long side of the module) using stainless steel M8 bolts with a minimum length of 20 mm (0.79 in). All clamps must be at least 30 mm (1.18 in) long and 3 mm (0.12 in) thick and overlap the module frame by 8 mm (0.31 in) or more. Clamps must not create shadow nor cover the front glass, and shall not deform the module frames during installation. For further instructions please contact the clamp manufacturer. Maximum load: Pa (50 lbs/ft2) to the front and back of the module ENGLISH Site location Ensure that the maximum wind and snow loads in local conditions do not exceed the SF module maximum load ratings. Avoid installing SF modules in areas where they are exposed to oil vapour and/ or corrosive gas. Avoid accumulation of grit or dust on the SF modules as it may reduce the output yield. Do not expose SF modules to sulphurous atmospheres. Do not install SF modules in locations where flammable gases accumulate or flow as there is a risk of sparks from SF PV modules. Do not install SF modules near fire. Avoid installing SF modules in locations where they may be covered by permanent shadows.this may adversely affect their performance. Do not install SF modules in locations where temperatures exceed the temperature range indicated in the module s technical specifications. 4

7 5.3 Electrical installation photovoltaic generator Crimping the twisted contacts The HSC2010 positioning aid is used for crimping the pins Electrical wiring safety precautions The sum of Voc of modules in series must not exceed the maximum system voltage of the module under any condition. Reverse current applied to the modules must not exceed 7 A. Do not touch or handle the PV module, terminal box or the end of output cables with bare hands. Do not carry out installation when PV modules, installation tools or installation area are exposed to water. Ensure that the connection parts between SF modules and power receiving devices are isolated and waterproof. Using SF modules with insufficient isolation and waterproofing could result in an electric shock, an electric leak or an accident. Keep the junction box and connecting cables away from any liquids until the connectors are mated. Failure to do this may cause faulty wiring. The connecting components between the modules must be compatible with the connecting system. They must enable them to work perfectly and completely safely. Inverters must meet the technical requirements of SF modules. Do not connect the PV modules directly to loads such as motors. Variation in output power may damage the motor. Observe and understand the safety instructions of batteries. Their misuse can result in serious bodily harm due to high electrical current. Cables should be adequately protected from damage by wildlife Cabling Solar Frontier places great value on delivering as many components as possible pre-assembled in order to help avoid sources of error. As each roof and PV installation has its own peculiarities, certain cables have to be adapted on site to the system and assembled accordingly. For example, the cables for extending the connecting cables to reach the inverter have to be assembled on site. In addition, if there are obstructions on the roof (e.g. dormers) it may be necessary to bridge the increased distance with extension cables. The DC cable, sockets and plugs which are included in the PowerSet are for this purpose. An Hosiden crimping tool (HSC ) is also required for crimping the contacts. This is not included in the PowerSet. Pre-assembled connecting cables must not be altered. Crimping pliers Figure 9 Figure 10 Figure 11 Positioning aid HSC2013 is used for crimping the contacts. Place the contact or pin in the position for the respective cross-section. Place the crimping sleeve completely into the tool as shown in Figure 11. Do not close the crimping pliers completely at first. ENGLISH Please ensure a clean and proper assembly of the cables to avoid error sources and to ensure safe cabling. The DC cables used must comply with the requirements specified in Section and be compatible with the plug-in connectors provided by Solar Frontier. Solar Frontier recommends the use of the DC cables as specified in Section These are available from Solar Frontier. The following tools are required to assemble the cables: - Mounting key (not included in the delivery) - Crimping tool for twisted contacts (not included in the delivery) - Insulation stripping pliers (not included in the delivery) Shortening and stripping the insulation from the DC cable First, the cable has to be shortened to the proper length. Then the outer insulation is removed with suitable insulation stripping pliers to a length of mm. Figure 12 Figure 13 Close the tool gently and check whether the crimping sleeve is properly positioned in the crimping die. Guide the stripped end of the cable fully into the crimping sleeve. Then close the tool completely while holding the cable until the locking device has been triggered. Please take care not to damage the wires in the DC cable. This could reduce the cross section and cause electrical faults. Check the crimping result and the correct fit of all cable strands. Figure 14 Positioning aid Figure 7 Adjust the tool: 1. Lift the positioning aid 2. Turn the positioning aid by ±120 in the desired direction Connector Contact Guide the crimped contact into the connector until it perceptibly clicks in and locks. Gently pull at the cable to check whether the contact holds firmly and has locked. Take note that the pin may not be inserted into the connector. Guide the crimped pin into the socket until it perceptibly clicks in and locks. Gently pull at the cable to check whether the pin holds firmly and has locked. Take note that the contact may not be inserted into the socket. Figure 8 Socket Pin Figure 15 6

Check that there is no gap between the sealing cap and the connector or socket. not good Figure Grounding Grounding cautions Be aware of the necessary grounding requirements prior to installation. Your local authorities can help you further. Install arrestors, surge absorbers or any other appropriate lightning protection tools as needed. Module frames, mountings, connection boxes and metal conduits should be connected to an earth ground as lightning protection, in accordance with local, regional and national standards and regulations. Holes (d 4 mm, 0.16 in) are provided in the aluminium frame of the SF module to accommodate grounding. The grounding cable must be attached to the module frame with a screw and washer. There must be an electrical contact. Use a copper grounding cable with a cross section of at least 2 mm² (AWG14) and a temperature range of at least -40 to 85 C. Alternatively, it is possible to use grounding lugs with integrated grounding pin, lock washers and grounding clips or brackets for PV modules as per NEC Section 250. These components must be used in compliance with the grounding device manufacturer's guidelines. Consult the grounding device manufacturer to identify the appropriate grounding and bonding device for your mounting structure or design. For alternative grounding methods please consult Solar Frontier. Connect the grounding cable to the point marked with the electrical earth symbol. Figure 17 Grounding (IEC) Rolling Thread Screw Lock Washer Grounding Cable Please refer to further instructions provided by the screw or bolt manufacturer. PV module frame Crimping Terminal Figure Electrical wiring The SF modules have a connecting cable with one plug for each pole. Use these to connect the module. Do not open the junction box. Fasten the module cable to the frame or to the mounting system in order to avoid any stress to the connector. Cables drooping from the terminal box are hazardous and must be avoided. Cables should be secured so they are not exposed to direct sunlight (such as behind the module). The sum of Voc of modules in series must not exceed the maximum system voltage rating of the module under any condition, even at low temperature. Reverse current applied to the modules should not exceed 7 A under any condition. Minimum cable diameter: 2.5 mm² (0.004 in²).

17 7. Maintenance 9. Disposal 7.1 Maintenance of Solar Frontier SF165-S/SF170-S photovoltaic modules A monthly visual check is highly recommended in order to maintain the efficiency of SF modules and the security of the mounting. Remove any dirt, fallen leaves or bird droppings from the surface, and check that there is no damage to the surface. Do not use detergent or chemicals for cleaning dirt off SF modules as it may damage the modules and result in degradation of insulation. Do not use hard brushes for cleaning. Use only soft cloths to remove dirt from the modules. When replacement parts are required, be sure the installer/servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer with the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazard. Stop using SF modules when any damage or unusual phenomena are observed. Have them immediately replaced or removed by a qualified technician. 7.2 Maintenance DC system The DC system is maintenance-free. It is still recommended that cables and connectors are regularly checked for signs of damage. 9.1 Disposal within the EU This sign on the modules and inverters indicates that these products must not be disposed of in household waste when they reach the end of their life cycle. For disposal and recycling, please take the products to authorised collection points where you can hand them over free of charge. Alternatively, in some countries you may hand them in at the dealer's where you obtain your replacement goods. Please contact your local authority for further details on your nearest authorised collection point. The DC cables can be disposed of at municipal collection points as electric waste. Penalties may be imposed for violation of the rules depending on the applicable law. 9.2 Disposal outside the EU The symbol of a dustbin with a line through it is only valid in the European Union (EU). If you want to dispose of your product please contact your local authority or dealer to find out the correct disposal method. ENGLISH 7.3 Maintenance of Turbo inverters The inverter is basically maintenance-free. Despite this, it is a good idea to regularly check that the cooling fins on the front and rear sides of the device are free of dust. Clean the inverter when necessary as described below. Attention Danger of destruction of components in devices. Do not allow cleaning agents and devices to penetrate between the cooling fins at the front of the inverter (under the grey hood). In particular, do not use the following cleaning agents: - Solvent-based cleaning agents - Disinfectants - Coarse or sharp-edged cleaning materials Removing dust Dust should be removed using compressed air (max. 2 bar). Danger Risk of death by electrocution! Risk of death by electrocution. Use cleaning agents only with a slightly damp cloth. Remove heavy soiling with a slightly damp cloth (use plain water). If necessary, use a 2% curd soap solution instead of water. After cleaning, remove any soap residue using a slightly damp cloth. 8. Transport and Storage Pay attention to all advice on the packaging when storing or transporting SF Power- Sets. A dry room should be chosen for storage. The packaging is not waterproof. All electronic components should be kept away from liquids during transport and storage. The SF PowerSets must remain in the original packaging until the installation. Small amounts of white powder from packaging material may adhere to the modules. This may safely be ignored and has no affect on performance. 10.
